I whined about the Special Assignment I got yesterday. It is a little better, but that was just the tip of the iceberg.
I talked back and forth with R. and she was supposed to meet me at her appartment when I got off work so I could help her move the last of her stuff that she is putting in our basement. You think that someone who is unemployed and doing nothing could at least get her butt over there in time. After all I am doing HER a favor by helping her.
But you would be wrong.
When I got home the little light on the phone was blinking. It was the school. V. has been using inappropriate language in the classroom again. He got detention. When the teacher called home to tell me, he beat me home, and erased the first two messages. I got the third. I read him the riot act. His reasoning was that since he wasn't screwing up as bad as everyone else, he should get off free. No such luck. I kicked him off the computer until I feel like letting him back on. The little shit.
R. didn't get to her appartment until 6:30. Mrs A, was furious, but I told her to back off. What the hell difference does it make to her what time I go to help R. I told her she was being unreasonable, which of course was like throwing gasoline on a fire.
I went and got a load of her stuff, and brought it home. While I was there I told her she was not welcome at Thanksgiving. That was one of the hardest things I have ever done. I drove home with tears in my eyes. I spent the remainder of the evening leaking around the eyes. Tough love is hard stuff on everyone involved.
At least I am pretty sure that today will be better than yesterday.

yeah, we wives don't like to hear we are being unreasonable. However, if it is the truth, I believe we appreciate it when we are called out for such behavior. I know I do. I hope Mrs. A doesn't hold a grudge on you for it.
wow, V must really have a case of the potty mouth for teachers to keep calling. Poor kid. Cussing is a hard habit to break. I certainly haven't been able to do it.
*hugs*
V. is doing a pretty good job of cleaning up his mouth at home. He just needs to work on it at school.
